: : Hotel Grand Continental ~ Part I : :
Sort of an easy day today as I was attending a training session at Hotel Grand Continental. The buffet lunch was great! Took a lot of pictures so it’s going to be in parts. So, for today, it’s going to be pictures from the salad bar!
The salad comprises of cut honeydew and raisins mixed with mayonnaise, cucumbers and crabsticks. One of the more popular salads that seems to be the ‘in’ thing at chinese restaurants around Asia for the past 4-5 years. The love affair between mayonnaise and the Chinese diner.
A beautiful coleslaw.
This is the local version for a condiment that goes extremely well with anything. It’s basically ikan billis @ fried juvenile (!) anchovies with peanuts and in some soy sauce, chilli powder and sugar.
Now, onto the local version of fresh salad. From bottom left, clockwise : fresh tauhu, pineapple, cucumber and guava. To be eaten with rojak sauce.
Some more fresh vegetable. From bottom left, clockwise : lady’s finger @ okra, long beans, coriander leaves and kacang botol @ four angled beans. Center : not sure. Could be cucumber or some mango. These will be eaten with sambal belachan @ spicy belachan sauce.
Some sauces to go with the ulam. Usually, ulam is eaten with sambal belachan which is in the bowl on the right. On the left is the rojak sauce that goes great with fruits, tauhu and cucumber. It’s a thick spicy sauce mixed with soy sauce and chopped peanuts. It looks pretty ugly but the taste is just short of amazing! Try it one day.
More pics tomorrow! Have another two more days of training to go to at this hotel.
Nite nite!
